I use RSS to fetch reddit posts for subs that are not active in Lemmy.

Sometimes I need to read the comments so I’d view the post from safari. Today, I tried like 3 post and when click on view post, it would redirect me to the App Store.

When I decided to screenshot the page to make this post, it did show the post but would refuse like 1 out of 5 times.

    Unfortunately, you’re atypical. Most people do put up with all the bs that coming from all corners of the web these days. Even Reddit, with all its blackouts and protests, still has most of its users watching ads on their app. They don’t care if it’s quality content.

      @JackGreenEarth

      @deleted @justlookingfordragon most people will never make a Reddit account. That’s the typical Reddit user. Those folks will never install the Reddit app.

      When Reddit makes a google search like “bicycle review reddit” stop working a huge part of Reddit’s utility will stop existing.

      I don’t think spez will rate limit google bots until after Reddit’s IPO.

        Correct.

        Regardless of blocking google bots, google would lower their ranking once the bounce rate increases.
